Okay, so I think I've asked this about a million times, but I'm hoping this time, someone might have a clue. I have my qube3 named "www" on the network. I have two machines: one a desktop, one a notebook. Both running XP, both relatively new. The desktop is a home machine which belongs to the same workgroup as the qube does. The notebook is a work machine that belongs to a domain. The desktop cannot connect to "www" with SAMBA. I get a password dialog and it goes nowhere. The notebook can connect just fine. This makes no sense to me personally. The desktop, which is in the same workgroup, should be able to connect but can't. So.what things should I be looking into as to why the machines behave differently?
On the win98 machine, try: right click on "network neighbourhood", go "properties"select tab "configuration", select "Client for microsoft networks", select properites (new window opens),
Is the tick box "logon to NT networks" ticked? Try the opposite setting.Our win98 machines have these unticked, but perhaps thats to do with settings on our qube, we only have one XP machine and although that works fine on the network it doesn't allow another user in the office to logon and open folders they have priviledges to use. It seems only to remember the one user that first used it but thats not a problem to me at the moment (eventually we will all go XP, when i get a few months to play with new settings;)
